the answer is no. you can only play with medium high setting, posted benchmark here before i think.

so would you suggest i go for a dell xps instead of a studio xps if my main purpose is gaming?

between these 2 studio xps 16 is better with newer technology unless you getting xps 1730.

dell studio xps 13 is up on offer in my country,

4gb ram, 500gb hdd,nvidia 9500M upgraded with the usual p8600 for only about rm3600 after conversion.

seriously considering it but shud i pay more for the 3 yr complete cover warranty?

nice price there.. get the 3 year complete cover if you plan to use it for a long time, save the trouble of sudden break down and pay for expensive repair.

If gaming is your top priority then by all means avoid Dell because of two reasons: the original Dell XPS systems passed its golden age, it used to be a great portable gaming system; the Studio XPS on the other hand caters to those who crave a little luxury (backlit keyboard/leather clad screen etc) and professional/home users as well.

There are limited options for you if gaming is on the top of your agenda; might as well get a PC.

LOL, I got my yesterday. saved RM400/- by not waiting

Dell FAIL! (To get me )

UPDATE: Arrgh. I just double checked they upgraded the monitor so I actually loose RM100/- (presuming I wanted it)

I FAIL

hi,

which would be the best build for xps 13. with a budget of around RM3.5k?

would like to get a good deal with a good build

anyone?

How to upgrade the audio ? I get the software but can not install it need teh original disc.
But i dont hv the disc. What i hv is the driver disc.

Dell hv one return unit from me.
SXP 16
spect as normal one but with
4gb ram, 3 year complete cover.

If want cheaper can go buy Refurbish XPS M1530.
It's cheap !!!
Can get in less than 2k.

Or any of you know any Dell technician, ask them hv any return unit which are cheap and good spect.

I get a notice that they hv a latitute E 13' series original price 6k but sell out at 4k.
They say better than SXPS 16.

its a 2 day promo thing. upgraded specs at base price. the other day they were selling sxps 16 with blu ray for 4800?

1.) Double click on "R208557.exe".
2.) Click "Continue".
3.) Select the folder directory which you want to extract your files to.
4.) Select "OK".
5.) The installer will prompt you whether you want to create the folder (if you haven't already extract the files).
6.) After the extraction, the Dell installer will tell you that the files have successfully extracted.
7.) InstallShield for the IDT Audio Driver will launch automatically.
8.) Follow the on-screen instructions.

Added on February 28, 2009, 8:42 amStudio XPS 16 isn't that huge; it's slightly longer than a typical 15.4" notebook but the width is shorter. In some cases even lighter than the 15.4" notebook, depending on the 15.4" notebook. My Dell Inspiron 6400 is one fine example.

ahaha, probably but i already find my 14 inch acer too big and heavy for my liking. i always use an external display so i don need the bigger screen size. sxps was the cheapest compromise between weight and performance and price. lenovo x200 was my top choice but the price and the intel graphics was a turn off. epson(yes, the printer epson company sells notebooks here in japan) has a 13 inch model with 9600M gt! the only other model with tht is lg's p310. wud have gotten it if it werent exp and low memory,low hdd and so on. so in the end, i plunged it for the studio xps 13 hopefully it'll come soon!

did anyone have the cd/installer for Dell Webcam Central Software and Dell fast access Facial Recognition Software? reformat the whole thing when i got my laptop, want to try playing with them but cant find it.
